Open in Pepper →A Sandwich Can Absolutely Be Dinner
A sandwich stops being lunch the minute you put something hot and messy between two slices of bread. Crispy chicken with pickle brine, beef roast pulled from the crockpot, a patty melt with the onions cooked down slow — that's a real plate of food.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on the nights nobody agrees on dinner, when there's a pack of ground beef in the fridge and forty minutes before ballgame practice. Sandwiches feed picky kids and hungry husbands out of the same skillet.
Every recipe here is a full supper: the crispy chicken sandwich soaked in pickle juice, crockpot French dip and a quick stovetop version with beef broth and butter, honey jalapeño pork with french fried onions, a tri tip steak sandwich on ciabatta, egg salad, Ritz cracker party sandwiches, two patty melts, and homemade sandwich bread to build them on.
Quick Tips
- 1
Brine the chicken overnight
Soak chicken breasts in a cup of pickle juice and a cup of warm water for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before dredging and frying.
- 2
Toast the cut sides
Butter the inside of every bun or bread slice and griddle it 1 to 2 minutes until golden so juices and mayo don't soak through.
- 3
Cook onions low and slow
For patty melts, cook sliced onions in butter over medium-low for 20 to 25 minutes until deep brown and sweet — rushing them just burns the edges.
- 4
Keep the au jus hot
Strain the crockpot beef broth into a small pot and hold it at a simmer, then pour into cups right before serving so it stays hot for dipping.
